What do the Pancake Man, Tinker Bell, and the Landfill Harmonic have in common? They all are inspiration for faculty and staff planning, setting the stage for our primary [[#|student]] visits to the Discovery Center throughout Spring 2013! You, too, can visit our Discovery Center, via our [[#|School]] Home Page and Lower [[#|School]] Student Wikispace Pages, to virtually experience alongside these budding engineers. We will update the eBulletin periodically about their postings …

Hooper First Grade - Super Bugs ... To the Rescue!
Up and At 'Em, Atom Ant!
Super Bugs - Honey Bees to the Rescue!
Mr. May's Super Honey Bee ... Amazzzzzzzing!
I am an amazzzzzing Super Bug! As a Honey Bee., I look like a flying striped, fuzzy teddy bear. The habitat I live in is fields of flowers, the air I fly about, and a hive. I eat nectar and pollen from flowers, I am afraid of the pesticides humans use. I weigh about 1/300 of an ounce and am about 1/2 inch long. I move around by flying and crawling. My special adaptation is my sense of smell; I can spot a particular flower amoungst hundreds; its like spotting a grain of sand in a swimming pool! I defend myself by my sting. I hide from preditors by running off to my hive; but I cannot hide from insecticides! I help humans in many ways. Besides my delicious honey, I am now being used to detect explosive materials and illegal drugs. I truly am amazzzzzzing! First Grader's Super Bugs ... Truly Amazzzzzzzing!
